Strawberry Margarita Cheesecake Minis
Ingredients
  • 1 recipe Salted Pretzel Crust
  • 1 1/2 8 ounce tubs cream cheese spread, softened
  • 1/2 cup  sugar
  • 1 tablespoon  all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons  finely shredded lime peel
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup  sliced small strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon  sugar
  • 1 tablespoon  lime juice

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line thirty-six 1 3/4-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside. Prepare Salted Pretzel Crust. Press about 1 1/2 teaspoons pretzel mixture into the bottom and up the side of each muffin cup. Bake for 5 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack.

3. Spoon filling into muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until filling is set. Cool in muffin cups on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cheesecakes from cups. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours.

4. Before serving, in a small bowl stir together strawberries, the 1 tablespoon sugar, and lime juice. Spoon on top of cheesecakes. If desired, sprinkle with additional lime peel.
